Miriam A. Friedberg Concert Hall

Miriam A. Friedberg Concert Hall is a distinguished performance venue at the Peabody Institute in Baltimore’s Mount Vernon neighbourhood. Set within the historic conservatory, the hall combines neoclassical character with the professional facilities needed for high-quality live productions and formal events.

With seating for approximately 624 to 625 guests, the auditorium features a split-level orchestra floor and a small balcony, creating a strong sense of occasion while retaining excellent visibility for audiences. Its scale makes it well suited to orchestral concerts, opera productions, major recitals, graduation-related performances, dance presentations and other staged cultural events.

The venue also benefits from modern technical infrastructure, including professional stage lighting, a hydraulic lift stage and multi-track recording capabilities. These facilities support productions that require a polished presentation, adaptable staging and reliable technical coordination. The Peabody Concert Office manages the scheduling of the institute’s public and private performances, together with the practical arrangements connected to the use of its performance spaces.

For event organisers, the hall offers a memorable Baltimore setting for music-led programmes, educational and cultural gatherings, lectures, master classes and carefully selected special events. Its connection with the Peabody Institute and Johns Hopkins University adds institutional prestige, while the surrounding Mount Vernon area provides an atmospheric urban backdrop. Organisers should contact the Concert Office directly to discuss availability, permitted event formats, production requirements and operational arrangements.
